I left filled with inspiration and hope for my own work as a writer/illustrator and even more for the reading lives of all our kids.<br /><br />Thanks to everyone on the panel: to Lee Wind for your blog (I&#39;m off to the library with a heavy list - we&#39;ll see how heavy it really is on the way back from the library), to Noah Woods for your cool little Tom Cat and encouraging us all to stop holding back, to Tony Valenzuela for pointing out that mainstream publishers ARE putting out GLBTQ work, to Nick Eliopulos for inviting queries, to Aaron Hartzler for moderating and writing your own story, and to Arthur Levine for showing us how simple and natural including LGBTQ characters can and should be.robineggillustrationhttp://robineggillustration.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
